They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

This combination of Chinese and Western punches ensures that Melyuchina will be completely transformed from a little female dragon into an elite human knight aristocrat.

"The so-called reminder means that I can ask you to recall what you learned in class anytime and anywhere," Nono said with a stern face and a serious expression in teacher's uniform, holding a blackboard stick in one hand and writing on the blackboard with the other, almost throwing the chalk on the head of Melyuchina who loved to be absent-minded and sleep in.

"—For example, what are the eight virtues of chivalry that I told you about this morning?"

Melyuchina opened her mouth, as if her thoughts were stuck. After a few seconds, she finally uttered a few nouns: "Humility, honesty, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, faith..."

"Not proficient! Add an extra class hour tonight for review! From now on, this time will be called evening self-study! I will arrange new class hours based on your learning progress, and add in-class tests, periodic tests, and a final exam as appropriate!"

"Huh?" Melyuchina was hit in the face by the series of new terms that came at her, and her eyes were almost dazed. So, beneath the seemingly peaceful life in the human world, the truth was such a cruel competition and test!

----

At night, after the family dinner, Emiya walked along the main house, around the corridor and towards the back as usual. His hardworking and capable junior sister, Xia Mi, took the initiative to take on small chores such as washing dishes and cleaning up after dinner...

Because Xia Mi found that her cooking skills, which she had practiced alone for many years, could not compare with Emiya's, she had no choice but to retreat to the second line and chose to contract other chores. She claimed that she did this to repay the cost of food and accommodation, and hoped that Emiya would show mercy and leave her more salary as a graduate student.

Emiya quickly said "yes, yes, yes", but he secretly wondered if this little assistant was working too hard. From training and studying during the day to doing chores at night, he didn't have any rest all day except for sleeping.

Could it be that she's been infected by the hectic pace of life here? She always seems to be feeling a kind of restless tiredness every morning, even more so than the average Tokyoite. Is it because she didn't get enough rest at night?

If this Xia Mi also secretly finds work to do during her sleeping time at night... then she is simply the modern version of Altria.

Emiya secretly made up his mind that he couldn't slack off any longer.

Starting today, I will add an extra hour of practice to my magic training schedule every day, set a small goal, and strive to improve my Noble Phantasm forging skills before the end of this year!

Infinite Sword System, my Infinite Sword System!

People who have just made up their minds always have firm steps and strong will. In a trance, they have an illusion that victory is in sight in a short time, and the goal at the finish line is within reach in the blink of an eye... However, this is undoubtedly an illusion caused by the cerebral cortex mechanism.

When most people take their first step from the starting point, they are easily eroded by distractions called "entertainment" and "laziness" without realizing it, just like a servant who, after indulging in alcohol and sex for many days, suddenly wakes up and realizes: "I have been damaged by alcohol and sex, and I am so haggard!"

Just like at this moment, Emiya took a few steps and turned around to see a brightly lit room on the side. A slender and petite girl was holding a long scroll in her hand, shaking her head and muttering to herself. His attention was involuntarily diverted to this room.

It might seem ordinary to ordinary people, but Emiya felt that this posture was comparable to the scholars who went to the capital to take the imperial examinations...

Because Emiya saw that the person reading inside was Melyucina.

Shocked! What's wrong with this world? How come even dragons are beginning to learn and understand the essence of human involutionary culture?

Emiya, still unaware that the most curly dragon in the world is none other than Miss Natsumi, quietly approaches Melyuchina's room.

Of course, Emiya knew that Nono was arranging for Melyusina to learn the etiquette and culture of the human world, but he really couldn't imagine that Nono had come up with such a mechanism comparable to exam-oriented education that Melyusina would happily accept it...

No, what have you women been thinking about these days? Why am I suddenly surrounded by a group of introverts?

Should I just follow the crowd and work harder, studying harder day and night?

"……Well?"

Emiya didn't deliberately hide his movements. When Melusina sensed the person coming, she immediately put down her book.

She put the things down low, looked at him with clear eyes, blinking, as if expecting Emiya to plead for her heavy study tasks, and persuade the strict teacher Nono to retract his decision.

Oh, it turns out that I didn’t accept it happily, but was forced to do this wave of evening study tasks.

"No, if you slack off today, you'll definitely be thinking about slacking off again tomorrow, and your learning efficiency will only get slower and slower."

Emiya knew that people who had just started learning all had this mentality, and they would even slack off from time to time. They would only work hard on their own if they were strictly supervised. Melyusina, who took the initiative to ask for help, was considered an honest person.

"No," Melyusina shook her head, raising the book in her hand. "This is the key points of knowledge compiled by my Master...sister. The contents here are just a list of the key points. She made me memorize them...but it doesn't seem very efficient or effective."

When Emiya took the book, he realized that what Nono did was equivalent to extracting the key points from various textbooks and reprinting a copy for Melyusina to refer to.

This is a typical learning method of a top student. As long as you grasp all the key points, many basic things can be ignored directly, because the redundant and bloated content in the textbooks will only distract people's attention and precious time.

But that's for humans. For a dragon like Melyusina, who lacks a significant portion of human knowledge, she needs more systematic and comprehensive knowledge... No, that would take too much time and energy. No wonder Nono wants to do this "crash course"...

"Wait a minute, I'll find you some other supplementary teaching materials!"

Emiya pondered for a moment. He remembered that there were some legendary materials piled up in a certain room. Those were the ones he had found when he and Xia Mi were sorting out historical materials and legends in recent days. There should be several literary works related to legendary figures.

Melyusina watched Emiya leave with sparkling eyes - and soon returned, this time with two books of chivalric literature in her hands.

"You should take some time to read these two books, 'The Morte d'Arthur' and 'Lancelot, or the Knight of the Prisoner'. I think just reading the key points highlighted by Nono is a bit too abstract. Combining them with the specific story of the Knight Lancelot will make it easier for you to understand the moral values ​​and concepts of honor and disgrace in human society..."

After listening to them, Melyuchina held up the two works solemnly as if they were treasures. She seemed to see the dawn of hope emanating from the shining halo behind Emiya's head, which dispelled her confusion about the unknown in the dark night and slowly spread a warm and happy atmosphere.

"Okay, I will study hard!"

"Don't take it so seriously. Just treat it as extracurricular reading material to help you understand... Really, for this kind of liberal arts content, how could Nono not pick out some reading material for you..."

At this moment, Melyusina's eyes were already shining like searchlights, and her gaze was focused on the preface of "Lancelot, or the Knight of the Prison Cart". The summary of the content above deeply attracted her:

"Lancelot, or the Knight of the Prisoner's Cart" tells the story of Lancelot, madly in love with Queen Guinevere, and his desperate quest to rescue the kidnapped Queen. He endures the cost of his reputation, ignoring the humiliation of boarding a prisoner's cart, risking his life through brutal battles and trials, ultimately rescuing the Queen. Moved by Lancelot's true love, the Queen pledges her life to him...

"...You must read it carefully!" Melyuchina turned the page impatiently.

Chapter 134 Brother, the knife is good, touch it

In this way, Emiya thought he had easily helped Melyuchina solve a big problem, and also effectively filled the key gaps in Nono's "crash course education".

After completing this task, Emiya decided to keep his achievement and fame to himself, and told Melyuchina to just look at it when she was alone and not to tell her that it was his idea.

Then, Emiya was pleased to see that Melyusina had entered the learning state very smoothly this time, and then he turned around and left quietly without taking a cloud with him. At the same time, he secretly sighed that the atmosphere in this family was really enterprising. It was obviously eight o'clock in the evening, but everyone lived like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, diligent and introverted.

You all really want to improve.

Emiya, who was also infected by this atmosphere, planned to go to the backyard to practice hard.

As he walked out of Melyuchina's room, time quietly climbed into the deeper darkness, coming and going without a trace, sighing silently that the people in the world were like morning dew, with many bitter days to go, and they had no choice but to taste the short spring night and be pushed to move forward.

bass.

The faint moonlight from the distant sky fell on the edge of his cheek. Emiya, in a state of concentration, grasped the sword, and the blade rang.

Moonlight like a bright white streak condensed on the three-foot sword edge, and fierce fire refined it into the treasure. Seven parts of it turned into exquisite fantasy, and the remaining three parts whistled into sword energy, as if a swing of the sword could split half of the sky.

"Ah! This is a little off after all. I need more references and corrections for the Noble Phantasm designs."

Emiya lowered his Noble Phantasm. He had learned these techniques on his own, without a master to guide him, and there were probably few who were suitable to be his teachers. The only teacher who could help Emiya grow to the greatest extent was the sword itself.

Unfortunately, those famous weapons and treasures are hard to come by.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

Hey, who could it be at this late hour?

"Hello, what's the matter?" After Emiya answered the call, he soon heard the voice of a member of the Zhou family on the other end of the phone, and the whole story quickly flashed clearly in his mind.

Oh yes, the time has come, it's time to set off for Tokyo.

----

At breakfast the next day, Emiya sat at the breakfast table and knocked on the table with his hand. "I have an announcement to make. All classes scheduled for today are cancelled."

"Oh hoo!"

Melyusina was also called out of the bed at this time. She was standing there in a daze, but when she heard these words, she cheered softly, because she knew that in this family, what Emiya said in this tone was equivalent to the "golden rule" that prevailed among all the tribes, and the chief eunuch Nono could not obstruct or interfere.

Nono saw Melyuchina's performance and snorted in her heart without commenting. Little female dragon, if you can hide on the first day, can you hide on the fifteenth?

She turned to ask Emiya: "Is it the agreed time in Tokyo?"

"Yes, the time and place have been confirmed. It will be at the Tokyo Sword Museum this morning. I don't know which family representative will be arranged to come. I hope it will be a young and communicative person, not a stuffy old man."

In Emiya's mind, the old and cold faces of the elders he saw when he was at the Zhou family lingered for a moment, causing him to frown slightly.

"Anyway, that's it. So, let's put this morning's training and afternoon's research on hold for now. I plan to take the train to Tokyo this morning to reunite with the Zhou family. I expect it will be evening by the time I get back, so while you're here, we need to sort out lunch and dinner..."

Xia Mi on the other side raised her hand high, "I want to go too!"

Nuonuo reacted instantly, "What are you going to do? It's none of your business."

"Sister, don't be so anxious!" Xia Mi took a bite of the thin and oily pork and mushroom steamed bun, and a small grain of glutinous rice lingered quietly on the edge of her pink lips.

"I'm not here to interrupt Senior Emiya's business. I've been checking the Yokohama Library these days and it seems incomplete. I'm planning to go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Library to check out the information. I won't delay Senior's business. Besides, we're going in different directions."

Nuonuo finally realized that she had overreacted. She frowned and raised her chin slightly, as if to show that she was not going to give in. "Oh, that's fine, but I want to go to Tokyo too!"

This time it was Emiya's turn to be surprised, "Why are you coming here too?"

"I'm not going to Tokyo. I'm just going there for fun. Is that okay? By the way, Melyuchina, why don't you come with me?"

Melusina's face fell when she was suddenly called out. She was afraid that Nono would stand beside her and urge her to review her lessons on the way to Tokyo.

Melusina was in a panic. She pursed her lips and looked at Emiya, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.

Emiya smiled back, instantly understanding Melyusina's thoughts. This dragon must be sad to see everyone leave, and lonely staying at home alone. He remembered that Melyusina was indeed afraid of loneliness.

Thinking he had it all figured out, he waved his hand and finalized the plan of action, like a general commanding the family. "Then let Melyuchina go with Nono. The four of us will set off for Tokyo together. If we have enough time, we can get together for a meal outside when we come back in the evening to replenish our energy."

Melyuchina: "..."

----

"Hurry, hurry! This 'Yenji' is a national treasure that has been enshrined at the Shito Kizan Shrine since the Kamakura period. Even though it's in a display case, you must handle it with care. Don't be careless!"

"Baka! 'Daiden Tai Mitsuyo' is one of the 'Five Blades of the World', renowned throughout the land. Be careful! If you damage it, even committing seppuku right here and now won't be enough to atone for your sins!"

"Have you gathered all the documentation for Master Changchuan Lai Zong? Don't make me keep repeating this, you idiots! The Young Master and the distinguished guests will be entering the museum soon. If you continue to sluggishly proceed like this, I'll downgrade you to 'clumsy, disabled, idiotic gorillas'!"

In the Tokyo Sword Museum, gangsters temporarily dispatched from the Snake Eight Families have taken over the scene and are working quickly to coordinate with each other to rearrange the environment.

Although they are a gang, judging from their appearance, there are not many people with tattoos or permed hair. There are even quite a few young men in suits walking around among them.

Because Japan is a country where gangs are legalized, many large gangs have already completed their corporate transformation. The industries managed by the Snake Eight Families are countless. In fact, the employees working in gang companies are no different from ordinary office workers.

They are also ordinary laborers who punch in and out every day to get paid, and occasionally work as coolies to run errands for their superiors. Moreover, they are influenced by the strict hierarchy of traditional enterprises, with clear relationships between superiors and subordinates. If an employee does not perform satisfactorily, he or she will be scolded by the superior.

For example, the situation that just unfolded in the Sword Museum was nothing short of chaotic.

A moment later, Yuan Zhisheng, wearing a dark windbreaker, arrived at the Sword Museum in the Executive Bureau's special car. The automatic sensor door quickly opened the glass door for the young master after detecting the visitor. The cold air from the central air-conditioning in the room hung down, forming a thin and almost invisible cold mist.

Gen Chisei glanced at the "No Smoking" sign in the building and suppressed the urge to pull out a soft seven-star cigarette. He turned to Yabuki Sakura, who was acting as his assistant, and asked:

"Emiya Shirou hasn't arrived yet, right? How long until the appointment?"

"Yes," Sakura Yabuki was wearing suit pants, a long ponytail, and a pair of black thin-framed glasses, making her look insignificant.

"There's still half an hour left until the agreed time. Young Master, do you need to arrange for someone to investigate the target's transportation routes and whereabouts?"

"That's not necessary. Take me around this place first. I wonder how effective the layout is." Yuan Zhisheng gently opened the Execution Bureau's windbreaker, revealing the two famous alchemical swords on his waist.

It is said that the Spider Cut and the Doji Cut Yasutsuna were named after the ancestor of the Minamoto family, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, killed Tsuchigumo and Shuten-doji respectively.

Yabuki Sakura bowed in response, and the two of them instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. Countless burly men in suits and black windbreakers came and went, stopping their work or walking to nod and bow to Minamoto Chisei...

Because even the most humble of followers knew that Yuan Zhisheng, as the sole "Emperor" of the Sheqi Eight Clan and the adopted son of the current Patriarch, was destined to ascend to the throne of the next Patriarch. Recently, rumors had spread that Yuan Zhisheng was about to take over as Director of the Executive Bureau. Such a rapid promotion was unbelievable within the family, like riding a rocket.

However, such a figure would set up such a venue today to solemnly receive foreign guests. This made some minions wonder whether the foreign guest might be the Governor of Tokyo or even a Cabinet Minister, while some higher-level cadres thought that the visitor was probably an important mixed-race visitor from overseas, such as a secret party.

The answer was soon revealed - the gangsters who were qualified to follow Yuan Zhisheng to greet guests in the lobby saw a group of young people getting off several low-key Silbe private cars.

Everyone wore the same uniform, and their looks and temperament were somewhat similar. Only the young man in the lead had a conspicuous red hair. His calm expression and unique introverted temperament, as if hiding his edge, attracted the attention of everyone present.

Gennochi walked forward and recognized Emiya Shirou at a glance.

The other party had obviously discovered who was the leader of this place and was walking towards them quickly. However, Genshisei guessed that Emiya Shirou didn't know who he was, so he was about to announce his family and name -

"Are you a member of the Minamoto clan, a descendant of Minamoto no Yorimitsu?"

Emiya suddenly asked, his eyes bright and his tone high and full of certainty.

"Exactly... How did you find out, Lord Emiya?"

Gennochi was stunned by Emiya's unexpected attack.

Just as he was wondering about the source of Emiya's information, he suddenly noticed that the other party's eyes were not staring at him, but at the two swords on his waist.

Chapter 135: Emiya: Don’t underestimate my intelligence network

Ever since his father mentioned Shirou Emiya, Gennochi had learned about this man's deeds and was deeply impressed by his deeds of slaying gods and dragons. Such outstanding talents were rare even in the powerful secret party. What was even more commendable was that the other party was not a member of the secret party, but was more likely to be of the same kind as himself, who came from the same land.

Therefore, Gen Chisheng had imagined and anticipated many times what the meeting between him and this legendary god-killing hybrid would be like if his father Tachibana Masamune hadn't arranged the meeting here...

For example, you can have a friendly kendo match in an ancient kendo field with superb sword skills, learn each other's names and get to know each other; or you can order sake and eat "one juice and three dishes" in a quiet traditional kaiseki restaurant, let the sound of shamisen or biwa dissolve the awkward atmosphere between strangers, and share your feelings.

In short, Yuan Zhisheng's idea is to pay attention to the gradual progress and formalism in the style of a Japanese.

Therefore, he never expected that the moment they met, Emiya would reveal his family background.

According to the information, Emiya should have never had any contact with the people of the Snake Eight Families since he was a child. Until later, he often went abroad, and he had even less contact with them. In addition, the secret of the "Emperor" was blocked by the family, so it was impossible for him to pay attention to Minamoto no Chisei, a rising star in the Executive Bureau in recent years.
